this book made me feel so nostalgic for the 80s and i wasn’t even alive then.
i’m probably a little older than the target, middle grade audience but i really loved this, it captured the time period so vividly.

In typical Judy Blume fashion this story weaves together stories of family issues, teenage drama and friendship. It was sweet, a quick read and a nice way to pass a rainy morning.

Green apple shampoo and taking phone calls in closets and (feeling like you're?) losing your best friend will always remind me of this book.
